Local Vacations!

Happy Tuesday! I know, it's Tuesday but you've heard me say it before, 'Better late than wait until next week."


Last week we were busy as we were this last weekend, but I just didn't feel like writing about it. That's rare! Dave and I mapped out a weekend each month this summer to take a local vacation. Last weekend was our first adventure to lovely Cordelia, CA. Yep, we visited the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield, had dinner at Texas Roadhouse to celebrate Greg and Heather Garcia's sixth wedding anniversary (Julie and Ray joined us), and then on Sunday, Dave and Greg went to the Nascar race while Heather and I took the boys to Six Flags amusement park. We stayed Sunday night in the hotel and on Monday, we visited local farms and produce stands while we made our way home. We made a final stop to have lunch on the Sacramento river, it was the perfect end to a fun weekend.



We had planned to meet Mike on Monday evening to help our neighbor out with his 16 foot sailboat. Mike was going to help Harry rig it up and make sure all the parts and pieces were there. They were and it all went together so quickly, we took it to Folsom lake and went sailing! After a late dinner, it goes without saying we were pooped! All of that fun was why I didn't get the Monday Motivator out yesterday.


Today was back to work, back to school, and a ton of laundry! I hope you are enjoying summer and making time to spend with your family and friends. With the July 4th holiday coming up this weekend, it's the perfect time to leave work at the office and have some fun!
